So, the British Carp Angling Championship sold out in less than 6 hours!! This is amazing as there are 6 qualifiers, over 6 different weekends at 18 different lakes. This proves that carp fishing is a sport with a huge following and one that i feel is now getting the coverage it deserves. To get the latest info on participants, sponsors etc check out http://www.britishcarpchamps.co.uk/ The site is packed full of useful information. The event is something Team Carp Times will be entering next year...........i just need to select a few anglers to be part of the team. Anyone interested send me a CV :) Watch and keep reading the blog for team news and announcements.
On a separate issue i was watching the One Show..........please don't hold that against me........and i was intrigued by what i saw. The latest craze apparently is instead of having turkey for Christmas dinner is to have carp. The clip went on to talk how a major supermarket chain will be stocking carp frozen that can be eaten. This is something i can't get my head round as i have always caught carp and appreciated it and returned it. The thought of eating one disgusts me quite frankly. i would be interested to hear your views and thoughts on this story.
That is all for now i'm afraid as i still haven't had time to go out although the time is getting nearer as i will have more free time very soon. The rebranding of Carp Times is underway and there will be a new logo and strap line in the new year. Something to look forward too!!
For now tight lines..
P.s if anyone would like to have their picture with their latest carp pic in the blog please send me the weight and where it was caught with the picture (obviously) and i will include some.
